TSA updates rules regarding shoes at security.

Quote:
As of today (Monday, July 7, 2025), the TSA no longer requires passengers to remove their shoes when passing through security checkpoints.

For context, this hasn't been necessary for a long time for those with TSA PreCheck. Furthermore, enforcement of this has been inconsistent in recent years, with many non-PreCheck checkpoints not requiring shoes to be removed either. However, this is now an official policy across airports and checkpoints in the United States.

The only exception to this rule is for those who are unable to present a REAL ID, as those passengers are subject to extra screening (REAL ID requirements were finally implemented as of May 2025). Furthermore, if you have to go through secondary security, then you can also of course be asked to remove your shoes.

This doesn't impact me since i have pre-check, but this should speed things up for sure.

2 decades of ineffectiveness down the drain.

Can they do liquids next?

Thanks for sharing this info because I hadn't seen it anywhere yet.

Thousands a day shuffling barefoot over the same dirty floor. Talk about a vector for foot fungus and other parasites.

But, you know ... gotta stay safe.

Thankfully I didn't throw out those shoe bombs I got in 1999.

Just kidding. Please don't put me on a list.

My work boots and cowboy boots have a metal shank in the sole that sets off the metal detectors in precheck. I know this is really soon, but any chance i get to keep those on if i go through the scanner?
